Good Evening!
If anyone’s in the market for a Super Bowl winning NFL team, you’re in luck.
Here are the 7 things you missed today:
1. 🌎 World Labs Landed $200M From Autodesk as Part of $1Bn Round
Spatial intelligence company World Labs has secured a $200 million investment from software design giant Autodesk as part of a larger $1 billion round from backers including AMD, Emerson Collective, Fidelity, and Nvidia. World Labs declined to say whether the latest round boosted its valuation, but rumors a month ago suggested it was aiming to raise at a $5 billion valuation. (TechCrunch)
2. 🎯 Let’s Talk Brand: C-Suite to C-Suite
If your team isn’t aligned on the message, your market won’t be either. That misalignment slows growth, weakens your position, and disrupts the buyer journey.
Book a 1-hour consult with Edward Baldwin – Principal at R+M and trusted growth advisor to B2B executives navigating complexity and change for over 20 years.
Bring a challenge. Leave with clarity, confidence, and a proven path forward.
3. ⏹️ Amazon Halted its Blue Jay Robotics Project

5. ✌️ Perplexity is Pulling Back From Ads

6. 🏈 Seattle Seahawks Are For Sale
Step 1: Win Super Bowl, Step 2: ???, Step 3: Profit. The Seattle Seahawks are officially up for sale. The process to sell the franchise, led by investment bank Allen & Company and law firm Latham & Watkins, is expected to continue through the 2026 off-season. (CNBC)
7. 🚫 OpenAI is Banned From ‘Cameo’
A win for small(er) tech. A North California district court ruled in favor of celebrity video message platform Cameo to order OpenAI to stop using the “Cameo” name in its products and features. OpenAI was using the “Cameo” name for its AI-powered video-generation app Sora 2 where users could insert digital likenesses of themselves into AI-generated videos. (TechCrunch)
